Exporting Tables to DBF and Excel
The application allows tables (whether layer attribute tables or separate alphanumeric tables ) to be exported in two formats:
- 1.Excel: Export data to a new Microsoft Excel file. The data appears on the second row of the first sheet. The first row contains the column names.
- 2.DBF: Export data to a dBase file.
Follow these steps to export a table:
A. Select the table:
To export a table it must first be opened. The export operations are activated once the table is opened.
To export a subset of the records use the selection tools to select the records to be exported. The records can be selected either from the attribute table or by selecting the corresponding geometries in the View.
B. Select the export option
To do this select the menu option:
For Excel: Table/Export/Excel.
For Dbase: Table/Export/DBF.
